Hello! The best way to Contact Me is through my Website: www. ikarusmind. com. I believe a great therapeutic connection requires: 1) Creativity- No cookie cutter approach 2) Curiosity- Let’s explore all the layers & root causes 3) Trust & Accountability 4) Emotional Honesty 5) Authentic Connection. I use a variety of modalities: Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Emotionally-Focused (EFT), Psychodynamic, Psychoanalytical, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Coaching, etc.
My favourite thing about being a therapist is discovering lightbulb moments. I provide insight therapy by uncovering root issues & connecting-the-dots. Let's address attachment styles, core identity, black & white thinking, limiting beliefs, and boundaries. My career started in the hospital supporting patients going through life-changing illness and cancer.
ALL ethnicities & diversity are welcome. I offer limited sliding scale rates and packages. I do NOT accept phone calls or voice messages at this time.
